Mozambique: Belgium announces €25M for renewables – Lusa

Belgium today announced a new cooperation programme with Mozambique worth €25 million over five years, which focuses on developing renewable energy and waste management.
“Our country will support Mozambique so that it can invest in green energy instead of fossil fuels,” said Belgian Development Minister Frank Vandenbroucke at COP27, the international climate summit currently taking place in Egypt.
The official is mentioned in today’s communiqué from the diplomatic representation in Maputo, which details the stakes in the new cooperation programme.
The support for the 2023-2028 period takes into account that Mozambique is indicated as at the same time one of the countries most vulnerable to climate change and one of the least developed.
Despite the riches of its subsoil, the initiative foresees studies for the production of green hydrogen in Mozambique, and the Belgian Development Agency will supply solar panels to remote areas without connection to the electricity grid.
The supply of potable water and irrigation solutions based on solar energy is also being planned, the statement adds.
Belgium will also support the implementation of a national programme for sustainable waste management, which includes the construction of recycling facilities in Nacala and Nampula, with additional support from the NAMA Facility, a multi-donor fund.
Of the €25 million announced, €2.5 million is specifically earmarked for the Loss and Damage component, to make public infrastructure more resilient to storms and floods.
Belgium also announced an additional contribution of €1 million for new drinking water connections in Mozambique.
